Key result
Emergency surgery for bi-ventricular myxomas yields good outcomes in acute cerebral infarction.
Why the study?
Cardiac myxoma is a rare cause of ischemic stroke, especially in young people, and clinical experience on surgical management is limited.
Case Report (n=1)
Emergency surgical resection of cardiac myxomas in a patient presenting with acute cerebral infarction resulted in a satisfactory prognosis.
Cardiac myxoma is a rare etiology of ischemic stroke, especially in young people. We report a case of multiple myxomas in left atrium and right ventricle inducing acute cerebral infarction. No significant abnormalities were detected in the patient's preoperative laboratory examination. Following emergency surgery, the patient's prognosis was satisfactory, providing valuable empirical insight for the surgical management of acute cerebral infarction in individuals diagnosed with cardiac myxoma. Our objective is to heighten awareness regarding the evaluation and treatment of patients with acute cerebral infarction subsequent to early diagnosis of cardiac myxoma.
